The next morning, Rose woke up to the comforting sunlight showing through the window. She rolled on her back, and let the sunlight warm her up. She was feeling at peace. No nightmares. Not waking up scared or confused. But now one thing remained, What were they going to do? Where were they going to go? Suddenly, Rose heard distant shouting. She sat up, and listened closely. The first voice she heard, belonged to Dusty.

"What in Gods name are you doing?"

The next voice belonged to none other than Caden.

"Making me an axe."

"Why? So you can chop us to pieces?"

"No, but if you continue to piss me off, Villager. I will."

"What is it with you savages and axes?"

"Battalion, Instinct, Rank, Tradition. "

"Well don't get any ideas. Especially not to Rose."

"Those aren't my intentions, to her at least."

"Tell me something Illager, because I'm curious. Why are you with-"

Suddenly, there was quiet. And it put Rose off, wondering why the silence. Then suddenly, through the door, burst Caden and Dusty.

"Nope." Said Caden, rushing inside. Dusty came right behind, saying.

"Well, we're outta here."

Rose stood stood right out of bed. "What's going on?" She asked.

Dusty ran down into the basement, Caden answered.

"Flocks of birds just flew right over the mountain and fled far as fast as a fang-"

He stopped himself and continued.

"And the herd of horses we saw yesterday all ran off too."

"And that's not all," Said Dusty as he came right back up from the basement.

"The waterfall stopped running. We need to go, now. I got everything packed."

Rose looked all more surprised. "That's real fast."

Suddenly, Caden grabbed her by the arm and led her outside, Dusty following close behind.

"Where do we go now?"

Caden asked as they walked through the gate. Dusty answered looking back at his home, and the mountains. Then looked back in the opposite direction, straight forward.

"We keep going straight."

And just like that, the trio walked into the the plains. The plains was wide open with no cover. No out placed earth blocks. Nothing else in sight as far as the eye could see.

They continued walking, and the day went on slowly. As they did, Rose heard Dusty and Caden have dangerous conversations. Why they argued, Rose could only guess it was because the misunderstood kidnapping. Dusty thought Caden kidnapped her, and Caden was upset because Dusty did kidnap her, but only because he thought she was in danger. But for some reason, Dusty kept addressing Caden as, Illager, Grey-skin, and Savage. Caden sometimes addressed Dusty as, Low species, Villager, Runner, and even, Weak. Before Rose even realized, it was somewhere around noon, Dusty and Caden were speaking almost aggressively to one another.

"Face it Big nose, we're lost."

Said Caden, his fists clenched. Dusty replied, frustrated.

"Heh, you're one to talk. And I may not know where we're headed, but I'd rather head somewhere else than stay back there."

"Oh Gods and Death you're more weird than all the other scared Villagers."

"I'm not like the other Villagers."

"Hmph yeah you're even worse."

Suddenly, in a flash, Dusty pulled out a shovel and swung it at Caden, but it stopped mere inches from making contact with his face. Dusty growled.

"Don't test me, you humanoid bastard, or I'll see to it-"

"Stop it!"

Rose shouted, she turned angrily towards the two of them.

"Stop fighting! We're trying to find help, not kill each other! I don't know what it is you two have against each other, but I need it to stop, or none of us will see another person again!"

Tears were pouring out of her eyes now. She continued.

"Please, I can't lose either of you right now! Just-!"

Stars began filling her vision, suddenly, everything felt numb and stiff, and then, her legs gave out. She collapsed, and suddenly she felt this incredible pain in her head. It felt as if someone hit her head with a gravel block. She couldn't focus on that now, she couldnt breathe! But her throat wasn't closed, and nothing was clogging her lungs.

Dusty dropped the shovel and rushed to her, Caden ran to ger as well. Both were shouting but she couldn't hear anything through the ringing in her ears. Caden was placing her on her back, but she couldn't feel anything, except the cold of the blackness that was surrounding her.
